Is the engine oil provided by the 4S store for the first maintenance free?

First maintenance 4S store provides free engine oil, different 4S stores offer different types of free engine oil for different vehicle models. For most new cars during their first maintenance at a 4S store, the free engine oil provided for replacement is usually mineral oil. Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine and is crucial for the engine's operation. Without engine oil, the engine cannot function properly. Inside the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. When the engine is running, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between them.

From a comparative perspective on different car services, I've noticed that the engine oil offered for free during the first maintenance at 4S shops is basically a strategy to attract new customers. However, there are slight differences in policies among brands: high-end models may provide better oil quality, such as free full synthetic oil, while economy models use basic oil. My car is a standard model, so the first maintenance only used standard products, saving money; a friend's luxury car, on the other hand, enjoyed premium service. When using the service, I recommend confirming that the free items cover all aspects to avoid charges for labor or additional products. Before scheduling the first maintenance, check the user manual and details on the brand's website, and choose a reliable 4S shop to ensure quality. This approach can help car owners reduce initial maintenance costs.
